A message for today

Although my time has largely been committed these past few months to things that have not allowed me to enjoy many interactions with you, my friends, it is your support and the wise words so many of you write that help me maintain the perspective that their is still good in this world.

On this Christmas day, may you be filled with the blessing of joy and peace.

Merry Christmas,Roger

Not to blame, not to strike, to live restrained under the law, to be moderate in eating, to sleep and sit alone, and to dwell on the highest thoughts--this is the teaching of the Awakened. "Buddha"

Dear Roger, What a sincere sharing. I really felt your heart in this and it moved me. But then, I think your heart is in all you do. I count myself truly blessed to be part of your loving circle of friends.

I have REALLY enjoyed reading the parts of your true and brave heart that you share so beautifully here. I always go away feeling more solid in myself and more uplifted, more ME. Know that I and the others who come here are with you. It's not about how much you are. It's just that you ARE. Your beautiful presence in the world is sooooo soothing. That is enough for me.

This year (and always) I wish as much goodness as you give others. It's already who you ARE, Roger. You walk a brave and challenging path in your efforts to bring positive change to the world through your political actions. I send you courage and strength because I have found you to be a sensitive soul. One who is doing great work.

You are part of the goodness in the world...in my life and many other lives. I wish you, your family and those you love deeply the very best that Life offers. Hugs, Robin

"This morning I awoke before the sun. Sitting alone in the still morning air, I watched the first dances of light appear in the dawn sky through the eyes of a five year old boy I held close to my heart. His wonder and excitement of nature’s simple treasures brought me back to the time before innocence was lost. I have been away so long..."
